Spring Cleaning Sampler Sew Along- Snail Trail Block Posted 5-22 Last one!!!

[apolta]

Hey everyone...
I know if you are anything like me... you have a humungous stash... that never seems to go down...
Well we could all use a fun "Spring Cleaning"
So come sew along with me in Spring Cleaning Sampler... I will post a new block every week! What a great way to use up our stash and also maybe have a chance to learn some new things out of our comfort zone... this will be a lap-sized quilt!

Hugs!

What size are the blocks? Trying to think of what I have in my stash. Would 10 x 10 inch squares be usable in this. Oh, just read that part about paper piecing. I don't know how to do that. Is there instructions somewhere that are easy to follow?

Okay, enough questions, just sign me up.

BarbieJean... I will probably start posting the blocks this Friday but you can work on them whenever you would like... I am making this quilt for my family... but wanted to share it with everyone! My blog is here:http://apolta.wordpress.com/'>http://ap ... press.com/
